What is a Family Readiness Support Assistant (FRSA)?

The mission of the Family Readiness Support Assistant (FRSA) is to maintain
the continuity and stability of Family Readiness Groups (FRGs) as units
undergo changes in volunteers and leadership. Operationally, the FRSA
provides administrative and logistical support to commanders and volunteer
FRG leaders. FRSA take the administrative burden off the volunteers, which
allow FRG leaders to reach out to Soldiers and their Families in the
command. This preserves stability on the home front, especially during
periods of deployment.
